Windows Vista Build 5112 (with a build tag of 5112.winmain_beta1.050720-1600) is the first Beta 1 build officially released by Microsoft. Released on July 27, 2005, at that point in time, Microsoft had decided on giving its "Longhorn" product a final name: Windows Vista. However, the name Longhorn was still used in numerous areas, such as within the About Windows dialog box.
Microsoft's Jim Allchin himself expressed his thoughts for the final name, stating:
"I love this name. ‘Vista’ creates the right imagery for the new product capabilities and inspires the imagination with all the possibilities of what can be done with Windows—making people’s passions come alive.”
Allchin's comments were reminiscent of those he made during WinHEC 2004.[1]
In comparison with Windows "Longhorn" Build 5048, this build was a much more significant advancement in regard to introducing new user interface features. The Explorer shell had seen significant changes, including virtual folders, an improved search interface, numerous new high resolution icons, and other improvements.
